Ginger & Soy

In the near-barren landscape of quality Chinese food on the North Shore, Ginger & Soy makes a delicious, if pricey, go of it. Food served in this comely room is traditional Sichuan and Cantonese (think stir-fries with fresh veggies, plenty of garlic, and chili lemon chicken sweet-and-sour pork) made well, plus a few regional twists. Highlights include the beautifully balanced hot-and-sour seafood soup, and the black cod sautéed in soy.
